Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 472 Don’t Pick Up Eggs on the Mountain

[The Xi Shi of the chicken world?] Jiang Yueyang was slightly stunned. She really didn't expect to hear such an answer.

[Yes, the male pheasants on that mountain would fight cockfights every day to win her favor.]

Jiang Yueyang said with a sigh: [Humans are not as good as chickens! ]

All the civil and military officials nodded secretly. Yes, none of them present were as charming as him!

[The male pheasant that made the pheasant Xishi sacrifice herself to stand out among so many pheasants must be very handsome and capable.] Jiang Yueyang continued.

[Of course, none of the men here are as attractive as it!] The system took the opportunity to mock it.

Everyone: “…”

Although it may be true, they still felt that they had just been greatly insulted!

[But...] The system changed the subject, [The rooster that made the pheasant Xishi sacrifice herself was not a pheasant, but a domestic chicken!]

Jiang Yueyang slowly opened her eyes, [How charming that domestic chicken is, it can actually defeat a group of majestic pheasants! ]

Civil and military officials were also curious.

The system chuckled, [That chicken has no charm at all, it's just because most beauties are blind. ]

Everyone: “…”

[Xiaogua, you are wrong. How can you say that someone is blind? Haven't you heard of the saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"? ]

[That's too stupid!] The system couldn't stop laughing, [That chicken doesn't even have two feathers, not to mention it's ugly, it's also old!]

Jiang Yueyang: [……]

That's totally blind.

At this time, Guo Yuanzheng, who had left earlier, came back. Everyone heard the footsteps and subconsciously looked over.

I saw Guo Yuanzheng walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Emperor Yuan, saying: "Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal is fine now, but he still needs to rest and cannot come to discuss matters for the time being."

Emperor Yuan nodded, "It's good as long as there is nothing wrong."

Afterwards, Guo Yuanzheng returned to his seat.

Jiang Yueyang saw Guo Yuanzheng and suddenly realized something, and asked: "Xiaogua, are we a little off topic?"

[It seems so.] The system coughed lightly, [Let’s get back to the point. The young lieutenant escaped from the jaws of a group of chickens with the help of a hunter from the same village and saved his life.

But the pheasant Xishi lost her beloved son and was unwilling to let the young general go! That night, she went to the village to spread her charm, causing the chickens in the village to break into the houses and peck at the young general.

The young general's family was besieged by chickens and had no peace for the whole night. From then on, whenever the young general was seen by chickens, he would be chased and attacked.

Even if the doors and windows were closed at night and the chickens could not get in, they would gather around his house and crow until dawn, making it impossible for him to sleep.

[Master Taiwei, the chicken is holding a grudge against you! ]

Dean Guo, who had not heard the previous content, was a little confused. What were they talking about?

Pheasant Xishi?

Lost your beloved son?

Being hated by the chicken?

He didn't understand, so he quietly asked his colleague sitting in front of him, and that colleague gave him a brief explanation.

After learning the above content, Guo Yuanzheng was shocked that there were such bizarre things in the world.

That pheasant Xishi looks like she’s about to become a spirit!

System: [The young general's family was tortured to the point of insanity, and had no choice but to move away from the small mountain village. They thought everything would be fine after leaving, but they didn't expect that the young general was afraid of chickens and fainted when he saw a chicken! ]

[This melon from the Grand Commandant tells us not to pick up eggs on the roadside. Oh no, it means not to pick up eggs on the mountain.]

Upon hearing this, the system sang the appropriate song "Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside" in a funny way.

When everyone heard the song, they were silent.

This person really knows how to play...

If the general were here, he would probably be in big trouble.

Jiang Yueyang yawned while listening to the song, and said lazily: [When will the morning court session end? Why do they have so much to talk about every day? ]

It’s just to listen to you eat melons!

The singing stopped, and the system replied: [It should be soon. ]

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the morning court ended.

Jiang Yueyang stretched and stood there waiting for her father to leave the hall together.

Minister Jiang knew at a glance that his daughter wanted to ask him for something, and he felt that if he stuck his head out, he would be in danger, so he took the initiative to speak: "Tell me, what do you want your father to help you with? I have to make it clear in advance that I don't want money."

In the past half month since the establishment of the Supervisory Office, Jiang Yueyang has used her eloquent tongue to apply for seven public funds from the Ministry of Revenue, each of which was not a small amount.

Shangshu Jiang, who had been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for many years, failed for the first time in managing money, and it was all thanks to his daughter.

You know, His Majesty has never gotten any money from him! More importantly, the civil and military officials have nothing to say about this!

Jiang Yueyang smiled and took her father's arm, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not asking you for money today."

"What do you want?"

"I don't want anything, I just want you to see this thing." Jiang Yueyang said as he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Minister Jiang took it and looked at it, his eyes gradually narrowed.

Jiang Yueyang explained: "This is a way of accounting that I saw in my dream. Do you think the account is clear and concise?"

A few days ago, she took some time to look at the accounts of the Supervisory Office, which made her dizzy.

In order to make things easier for herself, she came up with this way of keeping accounts.

Originally, she wanted to use Arabic numerals, but then she realized that if she wanted everyone to use Arabic numerals, she would have to teach them to recognize numbers.

She was lazy and didn't want to teach, so she had to give up.

Minister Jiang understood what she meant. "Do you want me to use this accounting method in all departments?"

"That's right. The Ministry of Revenue has the most and most complicated accounts. Dad, you must know the drawbacks of the current accounting method.

My new method can make the accounts clear at a glance, and it will be convenient to check the accounts in the future." Jiang Yueyang looked at her father expectantly.

Minister Jiang stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "This accounting method is indeed convenient and clear, but it may not be easy to implement it in all departments. After all, everyone is used to the old method."

"So..." Jiang Yueyang shook her father's arm, "I'm asking for your help!"

"My daughter, you should go find His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I will definitely look for it. I'm telling you in advance. If you can help me put it in a word, won't it be done?"

Minister Jiang thought that this might work, and that changing to a more convenient way of accounting would not be a bad thing, so he nodded and said, "I have no problem with this, but Dad suggests that you find a few more people to help you speak up."

"This is easy. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have working contacts with our Supervisory Department. They will not refuse this favor.

Besides, Kong Jijiu, as my immediate superior, should not refuse. Also, the Sinongsi Qing and I have a good relationship..."

Minister Jiang listened to his daughter's endless chatter and suddenly realized that his daughter's network of contacts was even wider than his...

What's the matter with feeling a little shocked?
